Shortly from "Starwalks War" and "Old Trek", you will be difficult to find a science fiction franchise from the modern era More influential than “the matrix"Did Magnum Opus from Vahovski in 1999 take a lot of inspiration from prominent stories of Anime and Cyberpunk?

Although the following films were more controversial, do not believe in the lie that the "matrix" is the only part of the franchise worth watching. Each piece brings new ideas, unforgettable moments and serves a key role in the larger ideological narrative of the "matrix". They may be less clear than the original, but in a way, it only makes them more intriguing.

Today, we rank all Matrix films, including the animated anthology of The Animatrix in 2003. Everyone is a success independently, but some stand higher than others. Let's get into that.

Before someone is upset, let's run out of things that the "matrix revolutions" do incredibly well. As the culmination of the comprehensive story of the original trilogy, it is perfect, delivering a fantastic final for Neo (Kianu Reeves) and his bow in the first three films. His battle against agent Smith (Hugo weaving) is everything you could hope for - bombastic, explosive and filled with deeper meaning. Neo's victory is not only one of the power, but one of the conviction, bringing it to the main emphasis on the trilogy of the inherent persistence of mankind.

Elsewhere, however, the film falls a little short. It can be difficult to glue the landing of the trilogy, and the "revolutions" puts so much emphasis on the air conditioning of the series as a whole that fails to craft cohesive identity as an independent film. The battle for Zion, although technically impressive at the time, is very dragged as the film continues because the characters we follow are simply not built, like others in the franchise. The visual talent of the digital world is lost for most "revolutions", replaced by aesthetic techno-apocalypse that is simply not approximately so attractive.

There are smaller details that I could use, such as the Death of Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss), feels more predetermined than the hero's trip game than a fully earned in the context of the film itself. But the big picture is that the "revolutions" feel like a whole filler just to bring us into the great struggle between Neo and Smith. Since that struggle works, the film ends the trilogy just good, but you may find yourself revising their YouTube duel more often than to divert the whole movie.

In a way, "The Resurrection of the Matrix" is like inverse "revolutions". Instead of having a lot of filler at the beginning, but a fantastic finale, it starts almost incredibly strong, but ends in an empty note. The first hour of "Resurrection" is just amazing - full of smart metal comments, beautiful shots, cool new ideas for the digital world and the Ellwescent performances. Reeves is as great as older, discomfort Neo, and things are immediately excited with the introduction of Essesica Henvik as mistakes and Yahya Abdul-Mathein II as a new version of Morpheus and both do a great job throughout the period.

"Resurrection" also scores points for putting a middle -aged Loveboy story in the center of the story. It's something you don't see too much in the sci-fi/action hollywood, and the whole Neo and Trinity bow reveals each other again and fighting the system is great.

The problem is that once you enter the back half of the film, it leaves some of its most interesting ideas in favor of a pretty flat story "Fighting Power". Neil Patrick Harris and the Athonian Count give it all, but their combined forces simply do not equate the impressive malice of the original agent Smith. The "Resurrection" ends up on a super -fast note, as the directors decide late in the process to round off every possible loose end. It is a unsatisfactory finish of mostly great film.

You can claim that Animatrix really doesn't qualify for this list. Due to its unique structure such as anthological film, a piece of piece can technically be seen. However, the totality of the film is actually super important to what is trying to do - and what is trying to do is really, really cool.

Released in 2005, two years after the end of the trilogy in the cinemas, Animatrix collects Vahovski's cyber -world with Japanese Anime creators who inspired him. The film consists of various shorts, each with a different style of animation, with a list of directors, animators and writers in play. And yet, these are much more than vignettes. As a whole, the film fills the gaps of the original trilogy, revealing how mankind for the first time created machine sensitivity, turned against it and eventually succumbed to its superior force. We get stories from the point of view of machines, as well as numerous escapes through The timeline of the "matrix" from and in and out of the matrix.

Freedom, discovery, compassion, violence, control, humanity, ascension of the soul - all of these basic ideas from the larger franchises are explored here, and the beautiful aesthetics help them resonate even louder. Each frame of the film is a work of art, anchored by another incredible result from the original trilogy composer, Don Davis, who turns into some of his best things ever. This is not just a collection of side stories - it's an artistic complement that makes the whole series richer. Like the "military clones wars" to "Starwells War" they foretold, or in a fierce sense, "Silmarilion" to the "Lord of the Rings", "Animatrix" adds depth, texture and numerous unforgettable moments of the already complex universe. And, although it may not be as cohesive or expensive as the first two films on this list, it also does not have their falls.

By the time I watched the Matrix movies around 2010, the consensus online was that "re -loading" was not very good. Throughout the "Starwells War" created a specific type of hatred of mobile phones on the Internet, which prompted messaging boards and early days on YouTube. "Reloaded" became a bear for that unfortunate mill, but like many of the "Starwells War War" at the time, the prevailing opinion of the "Matrix Re -load" was not accurate.

This movie is fantastic. Then it was, and it remains so now. The infamous scene of Zion Orgy/Rave that has returned so much during the day, is actually one of the most important in the series - a sequence that emphasizes what exactly mankind is fighting in the middle of the cold assimilation of digital life. The action scenes are alien and more absurd, but it is in their favor. If you allow yourself to be taken from a tide to the bold elections in "Reloaded", you will have an incredible time.

Even more to the point, this is where the philosophical essential essence of the series really puts in full focus. The first film has many interesting things that can be said about the nature of the perception, freedom and time of the machine, but "re -loading" injects a strong message of deconstruction that shakes everything. Many people didn't like this time, the way the film seemed to "restore" the aspects of his predecessor. But indeed, the complications of "Reloaded" only make the first film stronger, distracting it from the large mitopoietic tropes it has accepted and adds a new, more complex layer to the top.

As much as the Matrix extensions are better than people give them credit, this is an example when the original remains the best. No movie of "Starwells War" is so influential of the genre of science fiction in Hollywood - not "Terminator", "Alien", "Avatar", none of them. For a better part of a decade, This is what other directors tried to evoke - fatty, effortless style and bold visual talent.

No one has ever nailed it, maybe because they lacked Vahovski's only artistic vision. While The "Matrix" immediately caught the time of the bulletLeather coats and attractive lines, it is the deeper level that made a timeless classic. Excessive? Absolutely, but in order. Vachovski plays in the epic space here, and the "matrix" is a rare example of someone who actually pulls it, while also adding something new to the mix.

The "matrix" combines one ton of different genres, and each thing just works. The first act of the first act builds the tension and sets the scene to come to the big discoveries, and the second act of spirituality, martial arts training and scientific-graphic building does good for every promise made in an act. In the third act, the "matrix" removes bracelets and separates a series of action set of pieces of directors are still trying to match today. And that last shot? Come on. You just can't beat him.
